Pearl of Wisdom
'O Allah please do not make me require a need from bad people from among Your creation, and whatever You make me need, let it be from those with the most beautiful [happiest] faces, who are the most open-handed, have the most eloquent tongues and the least likely to remind me of their favour.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 56, no. 111
